What does BlackBerry 10 mean for BlackBerry 7?

BlackBerry 7’s development team will remain in place for the immediate future even though BlackBerry 10 will become RIM’s key OS.

With BlackBerry 10 whipping up a frenzy at BlackBerry World, it’s easy to forget that most BlackBerry smartphones still currently run on BlackBerry 7, but for how much longer?

BlackBerry 10 will be here before the end of the year, but RIM has told Pocket-lint that at launch it will be arriving only on high-end devices because of its advanced platform and subsequent support needed from a high-end specs device.
